The following is my opinion, and it's harsh.

I would not trade anything worth more than the basic body...
I'm a mopar-centric guy and I really dislike chevy swaps. The guys that do them offer 3 'reasons'
1. Chevys are cheap
2. It's what I know
3. It will sell easier with a SBC in it

Point one means I won't pay more than a hundred bucks for your cheap engine and trans. The clip is a negative for me, since it doesn't even have discs!!!!

Point 2 means you have limited knowledge, so the work is suspect.

Point 3 does not apply here! If someone is building the car for himself, I keep my mouth shut and hope the guy is happy. If they are building cars to sell or trade, I want to vote with my money and disprove this theory they have. Most Mopar guys want a mopar drivetrain, not some belly button motor.



I agree with all of this,if there is anything that devalues a car to me it is the statement 350/350.Sooo generic and lacking taste and imagination.What is easier about it?Valve adjustments on a stocker,pulling the dist to remove the intake,parts?Parts may be cheap,but they're cheap parts,good parts cost the same for either.I guess some people find it easier to work on a chevy due to experience,or necessity.Should you choose to work on the Mopar small block,it is not any harder to do,maybe easier.I'd say car plus cash for the bike(what year/model HD is it?),save the Dodge!
